Muslim population may decline: Sachar report
NEW DELHI: Many perceptions about Muslims are sought to be broken by the Sachar Committee which says their population growth has slowed down and that less than four per cent of children from the community take madrasa education.
It says there is a "substantial demand" from the community for fertility regulation and for modern contraceptives.
"Muslim population growth has slowed down as fertility has declined substantially, clearly showing that Muslims are well into demographic transition. In the future, growth is bound to be slower and eventually population is bound to reach replacement level," the report says.
